Read to Build a Better World!

Outline for 2017-18

Reading Celebration Outline 2017-18Updated 8/29/17

Theme: Read to Build a Better World

What’s Happening:

Reading Goals: The goal of the reading celebration committee is to encourage students to read. The committee does not set the goals for you because one size does not fit all. Some students respond to “points”, AR, or other rewards. Some students are turned off by point systems. Please customize your reading goals appropriately for your students. Students will receive a certificate for their reading efforts and a chance to win a gift.

Certificates will be distributed every marking period to students who meet their reading goals.

Drop Everything And Read - Time will be announced on Reading Celebration Days. We also want you to know that many students requested more D.E.A.R. time. We would appreciate it if you could help us to make this happen.

T-shirt letter

September 2017

Dear Parents and Families,

This year our reading theme is “Read to Build a Better World” We will have many activities spread out over the course of the school year. We also plan to raffle off several prizes during the course of the year to students who consistently meet the reading goals set by their teachers.

Details of this program will be posted on the Elementary Library webpage and will be updated as the year progresses.

Once again, we want all students to have a t-shirt to celebrate this theme. We will have designated days when everyone will wear their reading shirt and we will have special reading activities on those days. Your child’s teacher may also ask the students to wear this shirt on field trip days to make it easier to see everyone that belongs together.

We are ordering the t-shirts for everyone, and we are asking parents to contribute $5.00 towards the cost of the shirt.

Please return the slip below with your $5 by Oct. 13th.

(If you need more time then we will still accept money for shirts after this date.)

Thank you very much for your support of your child’s independent reading!
